As we are re-acquainted with Roy (Chris O’Dowd), Moss (Richard Ayoade) and their IT-illiterate boss Jen (Katherine Parkinson) in their dingy corporate basement, tonight sees the nerdy duo inviting themselves along on Jen’s date with dashing Philip from the ‘sixth floor’ and turning it into a work outing.

However, their night out at the theatre isn’t quite what they all expected.

When they arrive for the show they are amused to discover it is called Gay – a gay musical, and Philip’s sexuality is immediately called into question.

The evening’s unexpected turn of events also sees Roy and Moss finding themselves in an embarrassing predicament and Jen discovering the truth about Philip.
